  1. Software Features.

SUMMARY: sometimes we may need to update or upgrade the Software, which also means it may be unavailable from time to time.

    1. Updates. We may provide patches, updates, or upgrades to the Software that may be required to continue using the Software (e.g. to add or remove features, to resolve software bugs), however the Software will still match the description of it that we provided before your purchase. The Software will have minimum technical requirements and it is your responsibility to ensure you meet these requirements before downloading or using the Software.

    1. Availability. The Software and Content may be unavailable from time to time (for example, to issue a security update), or may vary depending on your region or device. If you change locations, you may need to re-acquire the Software or Content that were available to you and paid for in your previous region, if applicable. The Company Parties (defined below) are not liable for any disruption or loss you may suffer as a result of any occasional disruptions and outages in availability of the Software. In the event of an outage, you may not be able to retrieve your information that you’ve stored. We may suspend or terminate the availability of the Software and Content, in whole or in part, to any individual user or all users, for any reason. If we stop providing the Software and/or Content permanently, we will try and give you at least 60 (sixty) days’ notice (though we may not always be able to) and you may, where appropriate, be entitled to a full or partial refund. Upon suspension or termination of your access to the Software/Content, or upon notice from us, all rights granted to you under this Agreement will cease immediately, and you agree that you will immediately discontinue use of the Software and Content.

  1. Governing Law, Jurisdiction and Disputes in the UK and EU.

SUMMARY:

  • For UK and EU users, this Agreement is governed by English law and any disputes will be in English courts (unless you bring a claim in your home country, if not England). We agree that we will try and resolve any dispute informally first.

  • For users in the US and elsewhere in the world, this Agreement is governed by the State of New York.

    1. FOR USERS RESIDENT IN THE UNITED KINGDOM OR EUROPEAN UNION (“EU”): You and we agree that your use the Software and this Agreement, any issues arising out of them, will be governed by and interpreted according to the laws of England and any dispute regarding it will be under the jurisdiction of the courts of England. This does not exclude any mandatorily applicable rules or remedies which are available to you under the law of your country of residence (if not England).

If you have any concerns or issues, you can contact us at support(at) (at)minakatadynamics.co.jp where we hope we can resolve any complaints with you informally. We and you both agree to make reasonable and good faith efforts to resolve any dispute between us informally.

If you reside in the EU, you may also be entitled to submit your complaint to the European Commission’s Online Dispute Resolution (“ODR”) Platform. ODR allows EU consumers to resolve disputes related to the online purchases of goods and services without going to court.

    1. FOR USERS RESIDENT IN THE UNITED STATES OR REST OF WORLD (NOT THE UNITED KINGDOM OR EUROPEAN UNION): This Agreement is entered into in the State of New York and shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to any state’s choice or conflict of law rules. For any claims not subject to binding individual arbitration, you and the Company agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in New York County, New York, and you and the Company hereby consent to venue in and personal jurisdiction before such courts (but without prejudicing either party’s rights to remove a case to federal court if permissible). This paragraph will be interpreted as broadly as applicable law permits. We have the right to prosecute civil claims against you for any violation of this Agreement, or any other governing terms and conditions related to the Software, whether for breach of contract, violation of common law rights, or violation of any applicable state or federal statute.

  1. Dispute Resolution; Binding Individual Arbitration; Class Action Waiver (outside the UK and EU).

SUMMARY: for users not in the UK and EU, we will try and informally resolve the dispute first or you can bring your claim in small claims court. After this, any arbitration will be on an individual basis only.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY HEAR YOUR CLAIMS.

IMPORTANT: this section 5 does not apply to users in the United Kingdom or European Union.

Most issues can be resolved quickly and amicably by contacting Company’s customer support at support(at) (at)minakatadynamics.co.jp. But we understand that sometimes disputes can’t be easily resolved by customer support. This Section explains how you and Company agree to resolve those disputes, including (where applicable) by binding, individual arbitration.

Arbitration is an alternative dispute-resolution process and allows us to seek to resolve Disputes (defined below) without the formality or expense of litigating in court. Arbitration is often faster and less expensive than formal court litigation. Any qualifying Dispute between you and us will be submitted to a neutral arbitrator instead of being presented in court to a judge or jury. If you wish to opt-out of this binding individual arbitration requirement, you must comply with the opt-out process set forth in the “Your 30-Day Opt-Out Right” paragraph below. This Binding Individual Arbitration agreement will not apply to the extent prohibited by the laws of your country of residence.

    1. Informal Resolution.

If you have an issue that our customer support can’t resolve, before starting arbitration you and Company agree to attempt to resolve the Dispute informally to help get us to a resolution and control costs for both parties. You and Company agree to make a good-faith effort to negotiate any Dispute between us for at least 30 days (“Informal Resolution”). Those informal negotiations will start on the day you or Company receive a written Notice of a Dispute (defined below) in accordance with this Agreement.

If you have a Dispute with us, you will send written notice to Minakata Dynamics ATTN: NOTICE OF DISPUTE, 340-0822 Saitama Yashio City Oze 382-3 JAPAN in order to give us the opportunity to resolve the Dispute through Informal Resolution (“Notice of Dispute”). Include your name, registered email address you use to play the Software, address, how to contact you, what the problem is, and what you want Company to do. If Company has a Dispute with you, Company will send our Notice of Dispute to your registered email address and any billing address you have provided us.

If the Dispute isn’t resolved by Informal Resolution or small-claims court (below), you or Company may start an arbitration in accordance with this Agreement.

    1. Small Claims Court.

Instead of using Informal Resolution, you and Company agree that you may sue us in small-claims court in your choice of the county where you live or New York County, New York (if you meet the requirements of small-claims court). We hope you’ll try Informal Resolution first, but you don’t have to before going to small-claims court.

    1. Binding Individual Arbitration.

THE ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS IN THIS SECTION WILL BE CONDUCTED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY.

You and Company agree that Disputes will be settled by binding individual arbitration conducted by the Judicial Arbitration Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) subject to the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law and according to the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures effective July 1, 2014 (the “JAMS Rules”) as modified by this Agreement.

This means that You and Company agree to a dispute-resolution process where we submit any Dispute to a neutral arbitrator (not a judge or jury) that makes the final decision to resolve the Dispute. JAMS uses experienced professionals to arbitrate disputes, which helps you and Company resolve any disputes fairly, but more quickly and efficiently than going to court. The arbitrator may award the same remedies to you individually as a court could, but only to the extent required to satisfy your individual claim.

The arbitrator’s decision is final, except for a limited review by courts under the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act, and can be enforced like any other court order or judgment.

      1. Disputes We Both Agree to Arbitrate. You and Company agree to submit all Disputes to individual binding arbitration that cannot be resolved through Informal Resolution or small-claims court. “Dispute” means any dispute, claim or controversy (except those listed in the “Exclusions from Arbitration” paragraph below) between you and Company that relates to your use or attempted use of the Software (including any Content or Virtual Items), all matters under this Agreement, the Privacy Policy, the Terms of Service, or any other agreement between you and Company including the validity, enforceability, and scope of this Binding Individual Arbitration agreement, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence), or any other legal or equitable theory. You understand that there is no judge or jury in arbitration and that court review of an arbitration award is limited. You and Company agree that whether a dispute is subject to arbitration under this Agreement will be determined by the arbitrator rather than a court.

      1. Exclusions from Arbitration. The Binding Individual Arbitration and Informal Resolution sections shall not apply to (i) individual actions duly filed in small claims court of competent jurisdiction on an individual basis; (ii) claims relating to the enforcement or validity of intellectual property rights, but not, for clarity, claims related to the license granted to you for the Software under this Agreement (iii) pursuit of enforcement actions through a government agency if the law allows; (iv) a complaint or remedy under the EU General Data Protection Regulation; (v) an action to compel or uphold any prior arbitration decision; (vi) Company’s right to seek injunctive relief against you in a court of law to preserve the status quo while an arbitration proceeds; and (vii) the enforceability of the “No Class Actions” paragraph below. Such claims excluded from arbitration under this section are subject to the “Governing Law and Jurisdiction” section in this Agreement.

      1. Arbitration Procedures. The party starting an arbitration must send JAMS a “Demand for Arbitration” (available on its website), pay a filing fee, and mail a copy of the Demand for Arbitration to the opposing party. You will send a copy to Minakata Dynamics, ATTN: ARBITRATION OF DISPUTE, 340-0822 Saitama Yashio City Oze 382-3 JAPAN. Company will send our copy to your registered email address and any billing address you have provided us. The arbitration will be conducted by a single JAMS arbitrator selected with substantial experience in resolving intellectual-property and commercial-contract disputes. You and Company both agree that the arbitration will be conducted in the English language and that the arbitrator will be bound by this Agreement. You and the Company agree, and the arbitrator shall issue an order providing, that all notices, pleadings, motions, discovery responses, depositions, testimony, and documents exchanged or filed related to arbitration proceedings be kept strictly confidential.

      1. Decision of the Arbitrator. The arbitrator (not a judge or jury) will resolve the Dispute. Any decision or award by the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties. Unless otherwise agreed, any decision or award shall set forth the factual and legal basis for the award. The arbitrator shall be permitted to award only those remedies in law or equity which are requested by the parties and which the arbitrator determines are supported by credible relevant evidence. Unless otherwise expressly consented by Company, the arbitrator may not award relief against Company respecting any person other than you. Any decision or award may be enforced as a final judgment by any court of competent jurisdiction or, if applicable, application may be made to such court for judicial acceptance of any award and an order of enforcement.

      1. Arbitration Fees. If you start the arbitration, you must pay the JAMS filing fee required for consumer arbitrations. In some situations, Company will help with your fees to (hopefully) get us to a resolution quickly and fairly: if the Dispute involves $10,000 or less, Company will pay all of the JAMS costs, including the fees you otherwise would have been required to pay. If the above doesn’t apply to you, but you demonstrate that the arbitration costs are an undue burden, Company will pay as much of your arbitration filing and hearing fees as the arbitrator finds is necessary to prevent arbitration from being cost-prohibitive (as compared to the cost of litigation) excluding your attorneys’ fees and costs. The fee assistance offered above is contingent upon you bringing the arbitration claim in “good faith”. If the arbitrator finds you brought an arbitration claim against Company for an improper purpose, frivolously, or without a sufficient pre-claim investigation into the facts or applicable law, then the payment of all fees will be governed by the JAMS rules. Even if Company wins the arbitration, Company will not seek any portion of the JAMS fees or our attorneys’ fees or expenses from you in any arbitration, even if the law or the JAMS Rules entitle us to do so. You will pay your own attorneys’ fees and costs unless the applicable law provides otherwise.

      1. Location of Arbitration. Arbitration may be conducted through the submission of documents, by phone, or in person. If an in-person hearing is required, the hearing will occur in either New York County, New York or where you reside; you choose.

      1. Notice and Filing. If a Dispute must be arbitrated, you or Company must start arbitration of the Dispute within two (2) years of the events giving rise to the Dispute. If applicable law requires you to bring a claim for a Dispute sooner than two (2) years after the Dispute first arose, you must start arbitration in that earlier time period. Company encourages you to tell us about a Dispute as soon as possible so we can work to resolve it. Failure to provide timely notice will permanently bar all claims.

      1. Continuation. This Binding Individual Arbitration section survives any termination of this Agreement or the provision of the Software to you by Company.

      1. Future Changes to Agreement to Arbitrate. Although Company may revise this Agreement, the Privacy Policy, or other agreements or policies at its discretion, Company does not have the right to alter this agreement to arbitrate or the rules specified herein with respect to any Dispute once that Dispute has accrued.

    1. No Class Actions. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND COMPANY AGREE TO BRING DISPUTES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY. The arbitrator may not combine or consolidate individual proceedings unless all parties to this Agreement and all other actions or arbitrations expressly consents to such consolidation. Neither you nor Company may arbitrate any dispute in a representative capacity, including, without limitation, as a representative member of a class, collective or class-wide arbitration, or in private attorney general actions. The arbitrator may award any relief permitted by applicable law with respect to your individual claim, but to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, may not award relief against the Company respecting any person other than you.

    1. Severability. If any clause within this Binding Individual Arbitration agreement is found to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, that clause will be severed and the remainder of this arbitration agreement will be given full force and effect. The only exception to this is the “No Class Actions” paragraph. If the “No Class Actions” paragraph is found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in its entirety, this entire arbitration agreement will be void and unenforceable, and the Dispute will proceed in court. Under no circumstances shall arbitration be conducted on a class basis without Company’s express consent. If, for any reason, a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the dispute shall be exclusively brought in state or federal court in New York County, New York. Suits brought in state court may be removed to federal court by either party if permissible by law.

    1. Your 30-Day Opt-Out Right. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OPT OUT OF THIS BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION REQUIREMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THE BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER IN THIS AGREEMENT, YOU MUST NOTIFY US IN WRITING OF YOUR INTENT TO DO SO WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE DATE THAT YOU FIRST ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT UNLESS A LONGER PERIOD IS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW. Your written notification must be sent to Minakata Dynamics, ATTN: ARBITRATION OPT-OUT, 340-0822 Saitama Yashio City Oze 382-3 JAPAN. Your notice must include (1) your full name; (2) your mailing address; (3) your user account name, if you have one; and (4) a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with Company through arbitration. You are responsible for ensuring our receipt of your opt-out notice, and you therefore may wish to send a notice by means that provide a written receipt of delivery.

    1. Remedies. In the event that you breach this Agreement, you hereby agree that we would be irreparably damaged if this Agreement were not specifically enforced, and therefore you agree that we shall be entitled, without bond, other security, or proof of damages, to obtain equitable remedies with respect to breaches of this Agreement, in addition to such other remedies as we may otherwise have available to us under applicable laws.
